Career

2016–2023: Debut with NCT Dream

In January 2015, he passed the SM Global Audition in Shenyang, consequently joining the company in July 2015. On August 21, 2016, he was announced as a member of the upcoming group NCT Dream. He debuted with NCT Dream on August 25, 2016 with “Chewing Gum”.[3]

Renjun started appearing as a special guest DJ for TBS eFM 101.3MHz’s “Akdong Seoul”, a Chinese-language radio show, on August 5, 2019.[2] Originally on contract for a two month tenure, he was announced as a permanent DJ on September 20, 2019. The show aired every day from Monday to Friday. His last live broadcast was October 9, 2020.

On 20 May 2020, Renjun and Chenle's graduation song "A New Beginning" was released by Beijing Contemporary Music School on Chinese sites.[4]

Renjun made his debut in the sub-unit NCT U on October 12, 2020 with NCT's two-part second studio album, NCT 2020 Resonance, featuring on the single "From Home".[5]

On September 26, 2023, Renjun along with NCT members Chenle, Kun, and Xiaojun won the "Recommended Popular Artist of the Year " at the 2023 Weibo Music Awards.[6]

2024–present: Hiatus and Return

On April 20, 2024, SM Entertainment issued a notice stating that Renjun had recently visited the hospital due to poor health and symptoms of anxiety, and that he would suspend activities for the time being, including the opening shows of NCT Dream’s third concert tour “The Dream Show 3: Dream( )scape”, based on the medical staff's opinion that he needed sufficient rest. It was stated that he would focus on treatment and recovery.[7]

Three months later, on August 9, 2024, SM stated that Renjun’s health had improved significantly and that he would participate in NCT Dream’s debut English single “Rains in Heaven”, but would still not participate in the American leg of the concert tour due to the medical team’s opinion that it was too early for him to undertake a long-term performance schedule.[8]

On October 7, 2024, SM announced that Renjun would resume full activities after six months of hiatus.[9] He rejoined NCT Dream on tour at their Rotterdam stop on October 30, 2024.[10]

Philanthropy

In May 2017, Renjun together with fellow NCT Dream member Chenle volunteered with CJ Dream Classroom in Nanjing. CJ Dream Classroom in Nanjing is part of a global social contribution program providing better cultural arts education opportunities for children of Chinese labourers.[11]
